No Dogs Allowed

“Goth who walks fiancee on a leash is banned by bus driver who told him: 'No dogs allowed'

A goth, who likes to take his fiancee out for a stroll on a leash, claims that a bus driver told them "no dogs allowed" and banned them from boarding.

Dani Graves, 25, and his girlfriend dress all in black and like to take unusual walks, but the pair have been branded "freaks" and pushed off buses.

He and Tasha Maltby, 19, were told they could not travel on the bus service and believe they have been targeted by the same driver three times.

Gothic Dani claims the driver said: "We don't let freaks and dogs like you on."

I'm on the goth's side.
Why should the bus driver care?

The girl looks kinda cute, to me.

“sounds like he should of pulled out his crossbow and stuck him”

“She looks great from the leash down.”

“i agree: bus driver shouldn't care.

a leash??? different strokes, i guess...



(ewww, stove. cute? she looks like a little kid.)”

“They seem like they're seeking reactions and then are shocked when they get one?”

Little kids are cute!”

“The girl looks kinda cute, to me.

Watch it. Gothic Dani probably wouldn't like you calling his dog/girl cute.”

“Cute must mean something different to y'all. ;-)”

“1994 is over”

“So dayhiker, do you think the bus driver has the right to refuse services to paying customers?”

“ss - somehow i don't think it does... lol

“I would have thought the rebellious antiestablishmentarian goths would've wanted "the man" to spit on them. To reinforce their rebelliousness.”

“was she a seeing eye goth?...if so that's a violation of the americans with disabilities act

i stand corrected, they're british...in that case she's pretty hot for a british chick

“It's England.....

They both have nice rain tans.”

“The story wouldn've been better if she was a visible minority. Then we'll really see the fireworks fly.....”

“Silly British”

“Goth is so last year.”

“Anyone get this part, "The couple, who live on benefits in a council house and plan to start a family, have been friends for years." Although they should not have been discriminated against, what kinda reaction were they expecting?”

“who live on benefits in a council house and plan to start a family

What does that have to do with getting kicked off a bus because the driver doesn't like your looks?”

“altho the drivers probably just being an ass, the leash could be dangerous to her if the bus got in an accident. just considering liability issues, she'll probably end up having to take the leash off if she wants to board the bus. but he does owe her an apology for the rude and unprofessional way he acted

“Given that she describes herself as a human pet – and is happy to walk around on a lead – Tasha Maltby...

Her Mother must be so proud

Let them on the bus!”

“The guy said he did remove the leash on buses, in a different news story, C!B!.

“oh, ok. i missed that part”

“Note my correction. That wasn't in the posted story. Sorry.”

““She looks great from the leash down.”

Dang it, that was a great line people. Can I get'a witnessah?”

“That wasn't in the posted story.

but now that you mention it, i kinda remember reading that somewhere, as well as the fact that dani doesnt have a car and cant walk for long distances in the cold due to some kind of circulation issue

“You know you have a surfing problem if you read four or five different news stories about the goths on a leash. LOL”

“Stovey, she's 19 go for it!”

“I envision a world where a "freak" gets on a bus because a privately owned company freely chooses to allow them to board, rather than the government forcing the privately owned company to be civil, and to a greater extent, rather than the populous being at the mercy of the will of a government owned nazimobile. Live, love, life.”

“Well I am jealous, wish she was my dog, and slept with me”

“why are you bringing "the government" into this?”

“just say'n crash ... just say'n”

“why are you just sayin?”

“they look like they could be siblings.

and I like his shoes”

“you know what they say ....”

“"they" say a lot”

“that might be best”

“they say Ronald McDonaldesque”

“Compared to the goth couple from Louisville with the 10 minutes of TV fame they are very tame.

“So dayhiker, do you think the bus driver has the right to refuse services to paying customers?�

i do. a privately owned and operated business should have the right to refuse service. even semi-butter faced goth chicks.”

“No ducks allowed?


”

“hey euro, i've got a pic of a frog crossing sign from bavaria. you europeans are pretty weird about that stuff!”

“Europeans are so silly.”

“toads! Just down the village we have a sign set up every spring time to watch out for migrating toads.”

“

Beware! Wandering toads.”

“Why do you think we Europeans are weird? We sure have pretty good reason if we set up traffic signs.
See, for example those at an underground carpark in Luzern:

”

“HA!”

“Well yes, there is a zoo in Luzern. So I think it is reasonable thinking.”

“LOL”
